Dear Johanna,
Yes, I have already been in touch with both Walt Wolfram (who has read a full
project proposal), and The Center for Applied Linguistics who has read the same,
and interacted with me rather substantially on how they might offer me support in
this work. CAL is quite interested in this work on code-switching assessment and
enhancement in the public schools. They are very much in the loop.

I will keep you posted.

cheers

rebecca
